Shadow sat quietly. She herd voices outside her room. "These rooms are hideous!" A males said "well we have one more to check" a female said as shadows door burst open. Aurora and flare growled. "Well well well it would seem the rumours are true" the female smiled. Shadow looked at the smile and didn't like it one bit. It was the type of smile that said 'just turn around so I can stab you in the back'. "I'm Isadora Forsyth and this here is my brother" she poked him. "Tarquin" he finished but his eyes were looking around her room. "We did not meet in town?" Isadora said. "No I came here with my parents and I'm shadow" shadow said looking at the girl. "Well shadow it would appear your in my room. So run along. You wouldn't want to ruin your leaders friendship" isadora said stepping in the room but instantly stepped back as Aquas, Aurora and flare growled. "Actually isadora your in my room. I needed the biggest as of my five demons" shadow said with a smug grin seeing isadora glare. "But I would recommend the one opposite has a nice view" shadow said her canids stalking forward forcing both Forsyth to back up. "You've made a big mistake today" isadora hissed storming off. Tarquin stood there smirking he winked before following after his sister. Shadow blushed slightly closing the door. "Well we love our neighbours don't we?" Shadow said earning low growls from her demons. Even her mite gave a disapproving hum which made her laugh. Shadow soon enough went to bed.

The next day shadow walked into the hall. She saw Fletcher and sat by him. Her demons in tow. He introduced her to all the commoners. Shadow smiled shacking their hands. "So what do you plan on doing today? After all lessons don't start till tomorrow" shadow asked. "We were going to go into town" a dwarf said "I'm Othello" he nodded and shadow nodded back. "Mind if I join you?" She asked. "Not at all" Fletcher smiled. "Ummm please excuse me for asking but your a noble. Why are you sat here? And why weren't you here for the talk the provist gave?" A chubby boy asked. "Atlas! That was rude!" The group said in union. "No it's fine. I was asked to come down a bit later as my parents are the teachers and I don't like the separate thing between nobles and commoners. I'm friends with Fletcher and from what iv learned I didn't make a good impression on the Forsyth twins" shadow explained, however most were gazing at her demons. "So I'm just going to change into my uniform and I'll meet you out front" shadow said earning nods and went to change.

Shadow met the group and went to town. It was a miserable day and the cart journey wasn't the best but it was cheap.
"So what are we doing" Fletcher asked. "Well you want a scabbard and a tailor I'll show you if you don't mind stopping at my home first" Othello said to Fletcher and the others decided on the perfumery. "Mind if I tag along?" Shadow asked Fletcher and Othello. "I don't" Fletcher shrugged. "Me neither" Othello smiled. He was happy, if his parents saw he had friends it would help his situation. They started walking down the streets. Shadow stayed to her self keeping quiet. Eventually Othello pulled out a tomahawk to show Fletcher the craftsmanship. Within seconds two men ran in. They wore matching uniforms and pinned Othello. Shadow was shocked but kept her demons at by as the exchange went by she didn't know what to do. "If your Tarquin who's she" one of the men said pointing his firearm at shadow. "shes.....she's my sis..." shadow interrupted Fletcher "his girlfriend of course!" She linked there arms and kissed Fletchers cheek. This made him blush. Eventually they walked away with out a scratch. "What the bloody hell was that!" Fletcher said still blushing. "I look nothing like a Forsyth and they knew it so I improvised" shadow shrugged "don't act like you didn't enjoy it" Othello chuckled making Fletcher a deep red.

Soon they came to Othellos home. Shadow smiled seeing how beautiful it was. They met his family and his father uhtred. Fletcher and shadow had to prove they weren't spies and used the forge. Uhtred played a game on them making them forge with dwarves steel. However Fletcher and shadow both had the same idea and used there salamanders to heat up the metal. After proving they weren't spies. Uhtred insisted on gifting them. Fletcher was going to have a scabbard and a new uniform. "What about you young lady" Uhtred asked. Shadow looked at Fletcher "could you make me a khopesh and scabbard?" Fletcher chuckled at this "somebody jealous are we?" Fletcher said making shadow blush. "I also have something I'd like you to make but I'll pay for it" shadow said making the preparations and was soon back outside the tent. "Well it was lovely meeting your family Othello but this is where I part ways. Need to buy some things for my room" shadow said saying there food byes and went back to town hoping the stores would still be open.
